Our staff are taking a well earned break and no publications will be dispatched until Monday 18th October. If you order is urgent please purchase through Hive Books

Connecting theory and practice is important at all stages of a social worker’s career, but there is a definite ‘fear factor’ surrounding theory for students and qualified workers alike. These cards provide an exciting opportunity to use more creative techniques when exploring theory and practice with both students and qualified staff. Use of the cards can address the ‘fear factor’ and help to ensure that theory remains on the professional agenda throughout a social worker’s career. Every practice educator, and indeed every social work team, should have a set of social work theory cards. The card set contains an explanatory booklet with lots of ideas about how to use the cards, but the possibilities are limitless. The cards were originally designed for practice educators to use as a tool to promote learning in this area. However, many students have found that using these cards as a prompt has enabled them to more confidently navigate the, sometimes complex, world of social work theory. Siobhan Maclean is a registered social worker and independent practice educator. She has worked with more than 200 students as a practice educator. Siobhan has a particular interest in making social work theory accessible and has co-authored a number of texts on theory and practice. This card set develops on Siobhan’s years of experience of using creative methods to help social workers to connect theory and practice. This is the third edition of Social Work Theory Cards. This set contains more cards than ever before; an extension pack is available for those wishing to bring the second edition set up to date.
